Thread: Task of the Year for 2011

Definitely doing the last one, even if I never get around to doing the others. I've ALWAYS wanted to try on that glove!

Raiders of the Lost Arc (TotY)
I have said I would take MoSh into Avalon so we could go take care of something that needs to be taken care of, he says he is interested in doing that. So that is the next stop for the night. I take MoSh through a portal, focusing on letting Avalon guide us, but instead of taking us directly to a place we need to go, it takes us to the island of Avalon. MoSh looks around the island and says he thinks Asuka would really like it there, we should bring her sometime. I remember Tigress also says she wants to come, so I tell MoSh to wait for a bit and I open a portal to the moon, to the spot by the koi pond. She is not there, so I figure that means she is off in another dream and might be doing something she does not want to be disturbed from. There will be time for her in Avalon later. I close the portal, then MoSh and I get on a wooden boat and float down a river into a thick grove of trees where everything goes dark… and we find we are standing in a desert. There is a lot of commotion going on not far from our location, so MoSh and I go to check it out. There are many Nazis surrounding an object which could only be the Arc of the Covenant… there are two people tied up to a poll, one of them appears to be Indiana Jones, the other is a woman. One of the Nazis is about to open the arc, but I remember the Task of the Year where the goal is to open the arc and see what is in there. I have to open it, not him. MoSh and I easily kill off all of the Nazis, I use shape shifting to form my arm into Alex Mercer's arm blade and slice through them all. MoSh uses a pair of katana and some cool looking martial arts moves. Indiana and the woman are staring at us in awe, MoSh sets them free. They say we should get the arc to safety, I say no, we're going to open it. They both protest, but they certainly can't stop us… MoSh and I go over to the arc and open up the lid, Indiana and the woman run for cover. There is a glowing light in the arc that is like looking into infinity, there are surges of energy down inside it and flashes of light… then there is an eruption. The energy explodes out of the arc and permeates everything in the area, flowing through both MoSh and me as well. What a surge of energy! It doesn't hurt at all, it feels good. Once the energy passes through us, a spirit forms in front of us. I can't tell if it is male or female or even human, and it speaks to us (or at least I hear it) telepathically. It says we have pure hearts and have thus survived the test. It thanks us for releasing it, then it fades to nothing. The arc is now completely empty… nothing more than an ornate artifact from a time long past.

Im writing this on a mobile phone so ill write only the task part.

Im on the bank of a shallow river. Beb Kenobi is next to me. I think he has something against me. I run away, across the river, trying to walk on the water but I dont quite succeed in it? Luckily the water is so shallow that it doent bother me. I start casting a spell that should kill him. I change my mind and simply turn my attention away from him..
What should I so next? Right, the toty. I summon an assistant of Freddy, kill him and take Freddys glove from him. Next I summon Freddy. "Hi, Freddy", I say maliciously. "You wanna play?" I tickle him a bit with the gloves and then thrust the blades into him. Then I slash him a couple of times. He falls down but gets up soon. I slash him once more and this time he stays where he falls.

but why do they have to be horror movies

Psycho
I am typing on my computer, journaling a dream to the LPTC. I am trying to post a dream to their forum, but I keep getting errors back when I try to. It is really annoying. I keep trying that for a bit longer until I finally give up. I look at the dream, and the task I did is the Psycho task from the Dreamviews TotY. Wait… no wonder I couldn't post it on the LPTC forum. I do a random RC and find I'm dreaming.

Now I am in the Psycho movie, it is time to do the task. I go to the bathroom where the crime takes place. I hear the shower running, which means the woman is already in there, so I wait until I see Norman Bates go into the bathroom. I remember Norman Bates has his dead mother in his house… he must have some serious mother issues. I want to do something inventive, so I use that. I change my form into a zombie woman, which I think is enough like his mother to do the trick. I go into the bathroom behind Norman Bates. I look in the mirror briefly and I am surprised by my own ugliness. After I see my ugliness I say Noman's name in an annoyed tone, mother is very disappointed in you. The woman hears me and peeks out of the shower. Upon seeing a strange man and a zombie she screams and hides in the shower since Norman and I block the exit. I tell Norman to come over to his mother right now, he's been a bad boy. He hangs his head and comes over to me. He looks so sad and ashamed now. I tell him that he has been bad, but now everything is going to be ok, mother still loves you. And then I kill him with my hidden blade. The woman has snuck out of the shower and reaches the door before running for her life even though she is no longer in danger.


Psycho II
I am back in the last dream, right where I enter the Psycho movie, and I am lucid. I don't remember the previous dream at the time, so I think I still have the psycho movie to do. My thoughts are different this time, however. I head up to the bathroom and let myself right in. The woman asks who I am and what I'm doing in her bathroom. I explain the situation, that I overheard someone planning on coming in here to kill her, and then I tell her to get to safety and I will deal with the killer. She leaves the room, then I strip down and get in the shower. I am showering while listening for Norman Bates, and soon I hear him approaching. I wait and soon he pulls the shower curtain back with the intent of stabbing me to death. I form my Witchblade into Freddy Krueger's glove… I'm not sure why I choose that, I must have confused the Psycho task with the Nightmare on Elm Street task… whatever the reason this occurs to me to form Freddy's glove, I stab all four blades into Norman Bates' abdomen and cut upward. He falls to the floor, dead, in a pool of his own blood.

And just why would I open the ark of the covenant?
That's like suicide, but worse.... with facial melting.

Task of the Year: Nightmare On Elm Street
I am in high school, walking down one of the hallways with lockers on both sides of the hall. I am looking for my own locker, and I can't remember where the locker is, but I know I am late heading to my next class. I am getting frustrated with finding my locker and feeling rather stupid… but finally I find it. Great… now I can't remember the combination. I take a hair pin from the floor and start trying to pick the lock to my own locker. It opens and I see my books on the bottom, and there is a kid that looks to be about 8 years old impaled on the coat hanger on the back of the locker. And he is still alive, he is weakly trying to get down, blood coming from his mouth in strangled gasps… A gloved hand explodes through the boy's chest, there are knives on the glove like in Nightmare On Elm Street. The boy's body is broken in half and pulled through a hole in the back of the locker. I look through the hole and see something on the other side, a figure that has some resemblance to Freddy Krueger, but is even uglier and more disgusting… he is eating the flesh off of the boy's arm. He looks up at me and snarls in a horrible grin. Thoughts of Freddy Krueger lead to thoughts of dream demons and thoughts of dreaming… I can fight this guy… this is my dream! I move closer to the hole in the locker and Freddy reaches through to grab hold of me. I grab his hand before he can stab me with the knives and I will not let go, I twist it in a martial arts move and flip him over. The glove comes off in my hands, he glares at me and the dream shifts.

I am now at what looks like a mining site of some kind, I am still holding Freddy Krueger's glove in my hands, but now I see that I am not alone. There are a couple of men there with me, they are getting really close and hot and heavy with each other. They are kissing very passionately and feeling each other up… then they see me and cool it a bit. One of them, a black guy, says the two of them are ready to come out of the closet. Where did Freddy Krueger go? I don't care if these guys are gay or not… I want to find that dream demon. Well, I don't have long to wait. The ground starts to rumble and shake and then a huge worm / snake thing with the face of Freddy Krueger erupts from the ground and bites on to the black guy.

The other guy, a white guy, screams no over and over again, jumping up and down in place like a scared little girl. I still have Freddy's glove… I use the glove and sink the knives into the neck of the worm thing, making it roar in anger and pain and spit the guy out. He is covered in brown goop but seems unharmed. The guy's boyfriend hugs him and now they are both covered in goop. I am focused more on Freddy. He is trying to maneuver around and bite me, but the knives of the glove are imbedded in the thing's neck and I am holding on to that. So his moving around succeeds only in cutting him deeper. I focus on the song Damage Inc. by Metallica to send fire energy right through the glove and into the worm creature. The thing erupts into flames from the inside out and is gone in a blaze of fire which somehow doesn't burn me. I look to see if the two men are alive and they are making love on the ground… naked… covered in goop… yuck… not something I want to see so I wake up.

I'll try the OZ and the Psycho for tonight,let you know how it goes,kENY

I just broke my lucid dry spell last night and I'm going to start these tasks today.

Other than killing the shark, it all seems easy, maybe will do it.

Or my plan is to kill the shark in some painless manner, then resurrect the shark and feed him a bunch of those asshole shark hunters who hunt sharks for thrills and rewards. The task doesn't say the shark has to STAY dead!

Just did the slippers one, and the damn things woke me up! On the third tap i woke up im my bed

Dream Journal

300 is not a remake of The 300 Spartans. It is a movie version of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller.
That said, great task of the year. Good choices for the movies all around.

So, it is a movie, based on a book, based on a ancient greek story: O_o

Casablanca done! Task part in blue.

The dream starts with someone explaining something about 'offside-shootings'. I am watching a document, and my view shifts into it. I am now walking with a camera in my hand, filming a man that steals a car. He throws a dog that was in the car off the car, somehow the dog ends up in a big rubbish bin. I go to the bin and film the dog. It looks sadly at my. I start backing up. An old woman appears and helps the dog off the rubbish bin. I walk for a while. A police officer has stopped the car thief.
I walk to the car. "You already seem to have several cars so I guess it's okay if I confiscate your car", the officer says to the thief. "Sure, I'll just take my stuff", the thief answers. He takes a packet from the car. The commentator says that theres a gun in the packet. I and the police officer get in the car. I look at the thief. He is curling his fingers like he would be pulling the trigger of the gun.
We drive off. The police officer asks if I want to drive (or then I asked if I could drive). Anyway I agree. I am now driving the car (I don't have a driving license), though the wheel is on the right side of the car (like in the UK). I see a police car. "That will lead us to the police station", I say to the police officer and follow the car. It turns to someone's yard. I state that the car doesn't lead us to the police station after all. I drive for a while and almost hit several children.
We arrive to an intersection. I push the brake and manage to stop in time. I start turning to right but remember that the police station is to the left. I drive for a while and realize that the police officer doesn't know I don't have a driving license. I realize that it doesn't matter because I'm dreaming. I consider telling the officer that I don't have a license, just to annoy her but then I decide to do the task of the year. I also consider driving around for a while, but decide to do the task now because the dream has already continued for quite a while.
I teleport off the car, to the bar. I decide that because Casablanca is black and white, the dream should also be. So when people start forming around me, everything is black and white. The teleporting worsened the dream's quality, but luckily I still am in deep sleep. I see Sam and ask him to play something for me. He starts playing a jazz piece I've never heard before. At the same time I see the sheet music in front of me. After he has finished the piece, a woman arrives. Shortly after this the dream ends.

I went and did a part of the 2010 task this morning, forgetting it was already 2011! I think I'll have to make a new signature too...

Thanks

Love it

Damn, these sound like amazing tasks, but because I'm not old enough I haven't watched many of these movies. I may try the Oz one.

Who cares about age, watch them, or don't watch them, just do the tasks and enjoy the movie if you want.

These are brilliant. This'll be a lot of fun to do.

Funny, I just had a dream about Wizard of Oz 2-3 nights ago. It was lucid, but nothing close to the described task, so it won't count - and it was incidental anyway. I'll try again. I've seen all of those movies!

Still no luck.

Nutsack! I had an LD last night too and didn't try for the task.

I'm officially puting all my focus into this. I wan't the satisfaction of doing something very few people actually do

Huh. My little brother is reading about Spartans in school so I'm going to watch The 300 Spartans with him. Hopefully it will inspire me to get the task done. I'm still working on WILDing but I think I'll be able to do the tasks this year.

Nice, it's an awesome movie.

I did another one! At this rate I'll have it done by the end of february. Pretty fun, did Indiana Jones this time. Since I had never seen the movie, I found the ark in a pyramid XD Here's the excerpt from my DJ:

I decided that i had enough with things falling on me, falling on things, and setting off booby traps, and just jumped over to the ark. A pretty fun experience since the ark was like 30 feet away. I pushed the huge top over and peered inside. It was hard to see, but i could make out a rectangular shape. I grabbed it and it was a thick book, about the width of a christian bible. I opened it up and just saw a bunch of nonsense. It was like a mix of all the languages. I saw some fmailiar japanese shaped, some things that looked like arabic, latin, and russian. I waved my hand over it and said out lout, "In english, please!" And so, it changed to english. I can't remember quite what it said (sucks, right?) But it was something like, "Religion is a hoax, the truth is yet to be revealed" or something like that.
